New rankings from a trio of publications have placed Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business among the best in the world.

According to The Financial Times, the Carey School’s executive MBA program in China ranks as one of the Top 25 executive MBA programs in the world. Specifically, it ranked No. 21 in the British newspaper’s annual rankings of executive MBA programs.

Also, The Economist has ranked the Carey School among the top 100 business schools globally, coming in at No. 59.

The Princeton Review’s latest edition of the 296 top business schools in the country includes ASU’s Carey School, awarding it a 96 rating for academic experience and a 93 rating for career (graduate employment/salaries) on a scale of 99. The school was praised for its peer network, cutting-edge classes, satisfied students, career services, and solid preparation in management and teamwork.

In addition to the Carey School, Northern Arizona University’s W.A. Franke College of Business, University of Arizona’s Eller College of Business and Thunderbird School of Global Management are also featured in the Princeton Review’s list of the top 296 business schools.

NAU’s academic ranking was 82 and its career rating was 75. UofA’s academic ranking was 92 and its career ranking was 83. Thunderbird’s academic ranking was 91 and career rating was 89.

“The new rankings from The Economist and Financial Times show the W. P. Carey School is consistently recognized among the best business schools in the world,” says Robert Mittelstaedt, dean of the W. P. Carey School of Business. “The new book from The Princeton Review delivers high praise in the form of reviews from our own students. Recognition from highly regarded media outlets is gratifying, but acclaim from students who actually attend our school and learn from our stellar faculty also really validates our mission and accomplishments.”

Glendale’s Thunderbird School of Global Management ranked No. 83 in The Financial Times’ list, but was not ranked by The Economist.

The University of Arizona was not ranked in either publication’s listings.
